Ernst Fuchs & Joseph F. Askew

The Vienna Grand Master of fantastic realism, Ernst Fuchs, and the American painter and sculptor Joseph F. Askew know each other since the mid-70s of the last century. Askew was barely 25-years old as a student at the Art Students League in New York , he took his way to Vienna to learn with Fox the old masters painting techniques, today he mastery dominate like no one else. Askew and Fox remained friends, they were long time neighbours: The Americans lived almost fifteen years in Vienna and moved - as even Fox - he still lives and works in the small artist village Castillon on the Riviera until today.
